Chapter Text
Brainteaser sat on the chair; waiting for Mecha Man to appear.
"Speak of the devil..."
Just then, the suit descended from the nightsky. The flames briefly illuminated before the mechanical feet planted themselves on the ground. A familiar and cheerful voice echoed from the mech.
"Alright! So what you got for me today, Brainteaser?"
Brainteaser chuckled and stood up, it was always so fun with Mecha Man, the hero actually participates in his riddles instead of just, beating his ass up. "Well, first thing first,
On Monday, who was the villain holding the Vandstank CEO hostage?"
"Thiarh the Terrible TREX!"
"Correct, second, what was recently established company for superheroes?"
"SDN, Brainteaser. Honestly, I thought you be more specific in that riddle!"
"Hmmm, I'll take note, lastly, whose my favorite superhero?"
Mecha Man paused and rhymthingly tapped his mechanical fingers together, it was also so adorable to see someone so eager and enjoyed riddles as much as he did.
"Is it..."
The hero started, with a mischievous tone in his voice,
"...Me? Mecha Man?"
Brainteaser blanked at him before laughing his ass off, the mech gave a gesture that screamed confusion.
"Come on! Tell me if I got it or not!"
Mecha Man pouted, which made the villain wheezed and slapping his knee.
“Yea, yea. It’s indeed correct.”
Brainteaser didn’t have the heart to tell him his favorite hero was Clone Doggy. The suit pumped it fist, "So," Mecha Man turned back to him.
"What was the consequence?"
"...What?"
"You know," The hero gestured vaguely, "what happened if I guess incorrect?"
Ah, fuck.
How does one tell a hero that their time was essentially wasted?
Brainteaser could tell that damn hero was giving the biggest teasing grin behind that gray mask of steel.
"Did you really do all this just for MY attention?"
This time, it was Mecha Man howling.
"Y- You seriously did all of this and risked jail time..! For an fifty year old man's attention!" Brainteaser gritted his teeth, there was no fucking way he could win this.
"Well I ddeeeepplly apologized for wanting to solve riddles with my....Archnemsis!"
"Bobby."
Brainteaser stared at Mecha Man as if his suit grew a second head,
"My name's Bobby-" "No no! Hold on!"
"Why is your metal ass going and spilling your identity?! Especially to a villain!?"
God, this man was ass at common sense. The hero shrugged much to the villain's dismay.
"Well, I'm retiring soon, and, I want to keep this game of ours. Just solving riddles. Together. So I planned to tell you my identity days after my retirement."
Fuck, Brainteaser wanted to cry tears of joy and scold the shit out of the superhero,
"Shit, you got me all sapp-" "Too bad I never did."
What?
That damn explosion happened, Mecha Man turned and prepared to fly off to the scene as Brainteaser ran after him. He was too late. Mecha Man turned and tilt his head like he was giving the most shit-eating grin in the whole world.
"See you, Brainteaser. It was fun."
No.
No No.

BOBB
The villain woke up in a cold sweat, met with the concrete of the prison cells. He lied in silence, before turning over and pushing the shitty pillow over his head.
"...Fuck you Bobby...Fuck ya..."
